How do I get over the fear of asking clients for money?

[Btaliat]

A freelancer must not be scared of asking for money for the jobs he works for. The only thing that a freelancer should be worried is if such a freelancer doesn't satisfy the intention of the clients. However, in order to avoid this, you can even ask the clients to pay some upfront before you start working. You can as well make use of escrow if there is no trust. Most platforms may even stand as escrow for their users.
